Sounds like a great one for the pc after some patching. "fluctuating anywhere between what feels like 15 and 60 frames-per-second on PS5" sounds like nauseous city for me unfortunately. Hope day 1 ppl have a freaking blast with it though!
"Even major names, like Shohei Ohtani, look a little off"
Ouch. Funny, I actually downloaded NBA 2k24 yesterday (funny enough, I know) and I wish I didn't delete it after 2 games now because of how hard I laughed at 90s Bulls gaurd Steve Kerr. I mean I was cry laughing when he entered. Looked like he was morphing into a mfing hedgehog but stopped halfway. Made me think of the Kramer painting episode of Seinfeld, "βHe is a loathsome, offensive brute. Yet I canβt look awayβ π
Anyway, San Diego Studios should've been able to do $700mil Ohtani justice.
It's in my top 3 with Ocarina and Castlevania lll so I definitely hope that it'll be fantastic, but I can't say I expect it to be.
As far as a release date, whenever it is they should add a week to it so they can get modders to fix it in their free time before it's released rather than after.
Seems pretty cool and exciting for the future from the little that's known and the even less that I understand. Applying this to future games sounds great, but would it affect games already out? Like would Bloodborne all of a sudden run at 60?
@AK4tywill I hate to answer like this, but there are two reasons why. Two giant reasons. Two massive, big ole reasons. And if you guess one reason correctly, you've guessed the other too π
@GuttyYZ @awp69 I did some searching and apparently it was 95% off on steam last month...and still is lol. $3.49 for the deluxe edition. Still random as hell seeing it on this list lol
I'm sure watching the trailers for PSVR2 games on a TV is no way to judge them fairly, but I just watched a bunch on the PS store and wow...with the exception of a handful like the Resident Evils and Horizon, they look just horrendous. Like the beta for the Switch version of a Wii U game that was meant for the PS3 is how the vast majority look to me...and uh, I don't want that.
Speaking of co-op superhero games, man, I wish I could get X-Men Legends 2, or even an Ultimate Alliance on the PS5 π Either would be an instant purchase for me.
I don't dare to dream of a new Legends or Alliance though lol. Be too sad seeing characters that should be unlocked by playing, instead part of a paid pass or just straight up $5+.
Waiting to play it still. I really wish I would've tried the demo on my 1080p tv as well, instead of only the 4k, to see if performance mode looked better on it, but oh well.
Waited until the end of last year to play Remake, which I absolutely loved, and I'm fine waiting years to play Rebirth. It's awesome to see that a lot of people really love it though! π€
@JuiceboxMeister Dropped in a game that was in progress last night. Immediately entered the combo for the railgun upon landing, but accidentally hit β‘οΈ again after, selecting my impact grenade...which I threw at my feet...killing me instantly and blowing my lifeless body into the air. It wasn't easy to stop laughing lol. So yeah, I'm right there with you, haven't enjoyed a game this much in quite some time π
Just read this on another site, "Season 2 of House of the Dragon will premiere on HBO/Max in June, said JB Perrette, head of global streaming & games for Warner Bros. Discovery"
I'm no expert, but that sounds like a bit much for one person. Especially one that, on every single attempt, believes Wile E. Coyote will catch the Roadrunner π
"It's the only real explanation for what's going on here, as the game didn't have a huge amount of hype behind it upon release"
Yeah, I mean when I saw the trailer (think it was during the game awards?) I was just kinda "meh, alright" and had no intention of getting it. Then it came out and after reading the articles about it, and seeing how not mean and nasty most of the community was being about the technical issues, I had to get it.
Also, it rules to gift games on steam, wish I could on PS π
Read something about lowering the resolution of your tv makes performance mode look less awful. Wondering if the people saying it looks "incredible" are playing on a 1080p set, because playing the demo a day before release on a 4k in performance mode was amazingly bad.
@KundaliniRising333 Definitely. I played the demo last night and performance mode was shockingly blurry. As if the hdmi wasn't connected properly or was damaged.
Played the demo recently and was pretty fun. Didn't buy it mainly because of my wild backlog. But after finally finding Shaolin and Wu Tang without the terrible English dub, I'm super pumped to play!
Glad they got things stabilized, that had to be an immensely stressful time for them.
Can't wait to see what they have planned for it. The game freaking rules as is, and thinking about what they could add is exciting.
Also, the "eradicate automatons" are quick and easy for xp and money, even solo on suicidal difficulty. An Orbital laser and a mortar sentry or two and it's gg π
I personally just don't understand the push from WB for the Suicide Squad in general, considering the enormous amount of money they've lost on the movies. The Harley Quinn Halloween costume was crazy popular that one year, maybe they're going off of that?
There was a game called "Future Cop: LAPD" for the PS1 that some friends and I found to be an absolute blast back in the day. Like, where you gotta stop and catch your breath from laughing so hard. I just checked what score it got and it's around an 8, which is fair I think.
The fun factor was a 10 though, and I have more vivid memories of playing that game 25 years ago than many higher rated games within the last 10.
Helldivers 2 is a 10 on the fun as well, while I think an 8 or a 9 is fair.
Even though I'm currently fighting for democracy one orbital strike at a time, I've wanted to try No Man's Sky for quite awhile. Definitely going to check it out.
@TheCollector316 Bret did a signing near me in the 90's when I was a kid. Me and my friends couldn't afford it, so we waited out back by a limo just to see him when he left. He came out, saw the roughly 10 of us broke kids, and his face lit up. He spent a good few minutes talking to us, and took off. Bret rocks π€
Played a bunch of the multiplayer and had a lot of fun for a bit, but I felt the lack of content pretty quickly, and then looking at the wild microtransactions turned me off completely π
"The Japanese giant effectively has a stranglehold on the popular form of media"
Wait, and now the customer suffers once the choke is locked in? This must be the first time this has ever happened, right? No!? Well, good thing this could never happen to PlayStation because it competes with all entertainment equally, right? lol
Hmm. So, it's "nonsense" to be concerned about PS potentially losing Xbox as competition because... "all forms of entertainment" have always been as fierce of a competitor for PS.
If that's true, I guess I'm confused as to why PS was so staunchly opposed to the ABK acquisition yet heard nothing from Netflix, Spotify, etc, hear nothing from PS about other huge mergers and aquisitions, and @get2sammyb wrote here "The challenge for Sony is whether it has pockets deep enough to compete on this kind of level" but if all entertainment is as much of a competitor as Xbox, then did the Fox-Disney deal put pressure on PS too?
A business losing it's largest competitor doesn't usually result with happy customers, so I think the concern is valid.
Going on a journey in 19th century Russia as a nun with the devil as your bud, made by a team that sounds like they essentially fled to Kazakhstan from 21st century Russia that'll be donating to the kids in Ukraine. I mean you can't really get more badass imo.
Although, being named Indika, I hope it doesn't make me giggle a lot, want to eat everything in the kitchen, then have a glorious sleep π
I liked the 1st, but haven't seen the 2nd yet. Carrey can make me laugh as hard anyone so I'll definitely see the 3rd at some point.
Hope it's not his last, but he's one of the most successful comedic actors of all time and in his 60's. Should absolutely retire if he doesn't enjoy it anymore.
@Casco I had upgraded to premium for the last month of my sub solely for the trial for Baldur's Gate. Without the trial I wouldn't have purchased it, for sure not at full price, cause I really didn't know if I'd dig it. So yeah, even ridiculous for PlayStation's side, as they're kind of locking themselves out of way more of my money lol
Probably waiting until the complete game comes out and is on a heavy sale. Not sure though, the dlc in the genre is so out of control that I may just be totally grossed out and done with it like sports games.
Looks interesting cause I think Splatoon is excellent, but I hate how "Support from Square Enix will last for one year" sounds too much as well as being completely over "seasonal exclusive content and skins". Hope ppl have fun with it though!
Just got Baldur's Gate recently after not being sure if I'd dig it, and wow, SO MUCH FUN! I can see myself still playing it years later like Skyrim, Mass Effect, or any Zelda.
When I finally decided to check out the current season after it had been out for some time, first thing that happened was the quest item at the end of a dungeon spawned inside a fountain making the item inaccessible. Read that I could exit and run back to the end, but just said "nah" and uninstalled lol. Sucks cause it can be a fun game sometimes, I think
Always been interested in playing Sea of Thieves to see how the pvp is. Starting massive open world pvp wars in Hillsbrad Foothills in Vanilla WoW was as much fun as I've ever had in a game and have wondered if something similar was possible in SoT.
